[Protect him? He's safe? Does that even really matter? This isn't just about him. This isn't about whether he's safe right now. He's in so much trouble and he can't stop wheezing. He can't get his thoughts straight.
At the question, he can't do much more than shake his head nimbly. Water? He doesn't need water. His throat's so closed up that he wouldn't be able to drink it anyway. What he needs is Benny. Or maybe Bobby, or Simon, or anyone else who's a comforting presence. Hell, even Lang would do at this point.]
